This one got a little more metaphysical than it had been before. Definitely a 2001 movie vibe to me. Really liked the animation storyline (was that Patrick Stewart as the voice of father Herschel?). Did not know that the first identified black hole was called Cygnus X-1; the Disney movie ship was the Cygnus.

I saw the first episode, but haven't been able to watch since then. Perhaps I will try to catch up if it is still available on demand. I remember seeing some of the Carl Sagan episodes back in the 80's. However, the PBS station did not come in very well, so other than an episode or two I may have seen in school, it was all kind of fuzzy back then.

The original Cosmos from PBS is currently on DVD and the new Cosmos is coming to DVD/Blu-ray in late June.

I was surprised in myself being able to name some of the terms that came up in this episode. I feel dumb; I just discovered that the show is somewhat based on Sagan's book called [wait for it...] Cosmos. This is by far my favorite new show of the season, and I hope that it remains, whether or not the ratings are strong.
